NYC offices add armed guards, dogs and new turnstiles after 2 Midtown shootings
Briefly

Corporate security companies in New York are experiencing heightened demand for their services following a recent mass shooting on Park Avenue. The incident has prompted firms to implement various security measures, including armed guards and canine units, to serve as visual deterrents against future attacks. The shooting resulted in multiple fatalities and widespread panic among corporations located in dense office areas. This trend mirrors previous increases in security following the murder of a health CEO, which has led to similar protective measures over social media concerns.
Companies are requesting assessments about what they can do to keep their employees safe. For some, that means a security guard and a German Shepherd in front of a building.
The heightened measures come as the shooting touched off a panic in some corporations headquartered in office buildings across the city.

Manhattan-based companies have requested a number of services from Allied Universal, including armed guards and canine units.
